Movie Reviews of The Mudge Boy
Movie Review: ugly american revisited
Summary: 2 Stars
If cruelty, sadism, and abuse are to your taste, then this is the film for you. It is a full-length feature expanded from the bucolic short film, 'Fishbelly White', but which contains none of its lyricism and rural poetry.
Duncan is a 14-year-old misfit known for the chickens that he cares for like pets. He is isolated and lonely because his mother has just died, and his mono-syllabic father ignores him. And, in keeping with a time-honored cinematic cliche (starting with `Tea and Sympathy'), he is teased, tortured, and threatened by his macho peers for being 'different'. It seems that he may have a friend in leader-of-the-pack Perry but this is where the two versions part company. In the short, they develop a lovely, understated homoerotic romance. Here, Perry is violent and brutal, like his abusive father, ultimately instigating Duncan's final humiliation.
There is not one moment of tenderness in the entire film until the final 'reconciliation' between Duncan and his father but, considering the unrelenting nastiness which has come before, it feels highly contrived. Duncan is such a willing, unquestioning `victim' throughout the film, any resolution-of-conflict which might have raised this to a true coming-of-age story is lost.
This is a surprising entry from the usually gay-friendly Showtime Network. There is nothing friendly about this one.
Movie Review: Not as promising as I thought
Summary: 2 Stars
The story of a young farm boy who recently lost his mom basically falls for a friend of his who's another farm boy in the same location. It showed promise in the beginning but it honestly failed way short of a decent movie. The relationship between the main charachter and his friend should have been able to deepen a bit more especially after what his friend did to him toward the latter part of the movie. But by the time the relationship finally came to abroad, the movie was over and you were left wondering what was to come. As a TV show, this would have been a good show to watch since you'd be tailhooked into watching what was to happen next week. As a movie however, it was definately not worth it.Movie Review: Love the movie.

I got this product in the mail a day before it was even scheduled to come, so I was very happy and glad! two days later, before i had watched the movie, i left feedback on the sellers profile noting the fast service. last NIGHT i watched the movie and there were glitches in the movie about every 2 minutes. It's made me SO angry, that I wrote this wonderful feedback and now I know that I should have done otherwise. I'm not sure if it was the sellers fault or postal service, but the movie is not in good condition as promised. I'm thinking of sending it back. I wrote this here, because I can no longer give any feedback to seller.Movie Review: Sad, depressing, dreary, disturbing, even horrifying
Summary: 2 Stars
Not much more I can add to my review title; that pretty much says it all. Although, I will admit the actors did a very good job. I'm sorry I watched this movie, and can guarantee I won't watch it again.
If you enjoy sad and depressing movies that are even a little creepy, you'll love this movie.
Movie Review: I love Emile Hirsch but had this movie
Summary: 1 Stars
I thought this movie was one of the worst I have ever seen. To start off with the whole opening sceen is so unessasarily long. And that is how the movie progressed, unessasarily long pauses. Like I said in the title of this review I love Emile Hirsch, in fact he is the reason I bought this movie with out seeing it first, but this movie is just awful. I am a fan of movies that have an underlying plot of people coming to terms with their sexuality but this movie seems to just throw homosexual encounters in for the shock value. I would honestly and full heartedly recommend not seeing this movie unless you like really long draw out pauses, and I mean really long, and uncomfortable sceens that make your head hurt.
